Conspiracy Web sites labeled Popular Mechanics a “CIA front organization” and compared us to Nazis and war criminals.
For a 104-year-old magazine about science, technology, home improvement and car maintenance, this was pretty extreme stuff. What had we done to provoke such outrage?
Research.
In every single case, we found that the very facts used by conspiracy theorists to support their fantasies are mistaken, misunderstood or deliberately falsified.
Here’s one example: Meyssan and hundreds of Web sites cite an eyewitness who said the craft that hit the Pentagon looked “like a cruise missile with wings.” Here’s what that witness, a Washington, D.C., broadcaster named Mike Walter, actually told CNN: “I looked out my window and I saw this plane, this jet, an American Airlines jet, coming. And I thought, ‘This doesn’t add up. It’s really low.’ And I saw it. I mean, it was like a cruise missile with wings. It went right there and slammed right into the Pentagon.”

Actually right now I’m working on my very own theory that the towers were toppled by giant invisible orangutans in the service of the dope-dealing British crown.
It’s true, I’m British.. I should know!
YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER DISRESPECTED OUR TEA DAMNIT!

There is only one thing wrong with your theory. It is common knowlege that orangutans would never work for the British.

On the contrary Mr S, our agent Terry Pratchett has done wonders for Orang/Pongo-Pongo British relations in the last decade
